Is cl-icalendar available via network (ql:quickload "your-lib-name-here") in quicklisp?

Hi, The readme says it is, but I can't find it in Quicklisp's list of libs? Do you mean that it can be added in as a custom lib using quicklisp? If it's not in quicklisp, are there any major bugs in it stopping it from being added to the list of net gettable libs? Thanks for making this. I was about to start building one myself. You've more than likely saved me the time to do that. Cheers DC

Hi Dave,

It is not in quicklisp yet, but dependencies are. There is not major bugs as far I am concerned. However it is uncompleted. Support for timezones is missing and many other things.. if you find it useful, go and request it for Quicklisp. But I would like happier if we can get something more complete first :-)

Of course, help is very welcome. Try it and please, feedback if it is useful for you or you need something more.

Regards

I'm developing a calendar application in Common Lisp, and this library looks useful.

You mention that timezones support is missing. Do you think that using local-time library instead of universal-time for time calculations could fix the issue?

What other parts are missing apart from timezones. It looks fairly complete...

[davazp]

I think so. I first try with local-time but I found some issues. But they could be solved by now (and if they aren't, we could report it upstream). So yes, I think local-time is the way to go.

Apart from timezones, I think all the low-level code is there. We could add helper functions and more high level abstractions when needed, but this was enough for me. It needs some real usage to define more functionality, but I am willing to add it.
